Leadership of the Airline Division and leadership from both Teamster units at UAL and CAL will meet on September 1st with the leadership of United Airlines to discuss the company's hangar plan as they come closer to achieving their single operating certificate. The company has expressed a desire to have the ability to cross utilize aircraft and facilities to take advantage of merger synergies.
The Airline Division has made clear its position that in order for the company to do this they need to complete an amalgamated agreement, and the first step to achieving that goal is to finalize a stand alone agreement for the United mechanics and related. To that end, the Division intends to press the point at this meeting and insist that the company return to the table prior to the upcoming mediated talks to finish the United mechanics agreement.
